Switch SFP modules

[Richard Tapp]

After 44 years in IT, I only have 4 days left and then retiring.

One last think I need to find and I am struggling to get an easy answer.

I need to connect a 9200l to a CSB350 switch.

Which fibre SFP module do I need pls. Not a long run, Probably less than 50 m.

  - @Richard Tapp     Both devices must use compatible SFP's at their own end :

Hello @Richard Tapp 

Good luck for your 4 days left! Congrats for your career !

Find here SFP modules compatible for c9200L: https://tmgmatrix.cisco.com/?npf=342

Find in that doc SFP compatible for your CBS350: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/business-350-series-managed-switches/datasheet-c78-744156.html

You've mentioned 50m, this for gig?  You've also mentioned fibre, copper not an option?  If fibre, what kind of fiber?

@Richard Tapp 

I ran into the same situation during a connected schools project in the Balkans where we had to link Catalyst 9200L switches with Cisco Business 350 models.

Since your distance is less than 50 meters, the straightforward option is multimode fiber with SR optics.

• On the Catalyst 9200L you can use either GLC-SX-MMD if 1G is enough, or SFP-10G-SR if you want 10G.

• On the CBS350 side, the matching modules would be MGBSX1 for 1G, or SFP-10G-SR-S for 10G.

Both work over OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber with LC connectors. In our project we went with the 1G pair (GLC-SX-MMD to MGBSX1) because that was more than enough and cost-effective, but if you want to keep it future-proof, go with the 10G pair.
